PubLIc LANDs EXTENDED STAY ADVENTURES TO ADD ON IF YOU HAVE A WEEK… Come in through the park’s north entrance and head to Mammoth Hot springs . With a fantastical landscape straight out of Middle Earth, it’s like a limestone cave turned inside out. Two boardwalks give you access to more than 50 geothermal features — including free-standing Liberty Cap, colorful Minerva and Palette Springs and Angel Terrace. History buffs will enjoy a quick side trip to Fort Yellowstone, just a stone’s throw from the springs. You can’t miss hiking around the Grand canyon of the Yellowstone , either. This 20-mile-long, 1,000-foot-deep natural work of art is best explored while hoofing it, with the canyon’s colorful walls rising around you. There are 10 official overlook spots in the canyon, and Artist Point is one of the most popular. After uttering your “oohs” and “aahs” at the spectacular view of Lower Falls crashing into the river below, leave the paved trail and keep hiking along the canyon’s south rim to Point Sublime. # Yellowstone Pledge Help the National Park Service protect Yellowstone for the enjoyment of future generations by taking the Yellowstone Pledge, a promise to help protect yourself and be a steward of the park by taking safe selfies, following speed limits, staying on boardwalks and trails, and keeping a safe distance from wildlife. Then, share your park photos with the hashtag #YellowstonePledge to encourage others to do the same. Learn more about traveling responsibly in Wyoming at travelwy.com/wyresponsibly.
